A bold gala of local and international works opens the
season of Ballet Philippines’ 43rd Season: Dragon Song in Songs, on July 6-8, 2012
at the CCP Main Theater.
“Dragon years are always significant with their great
energy and sense of renewal, the beginning of a new cycle,” says BP Artistic
Director Paul Alexander Morales. “ Let’s all rally behind and embrace the
company that has brought much pride to the country—after all, it is truly OUR
OWN.”
Songs also features sensational masterworks in
the arsenal of Ballet Philippines including:
Les Petit Mots
D’Amour
by Redha Beintefour (France)
A compelling dance
piece that embodies man’s innermost desires. In it, man is reduced to his
primal origins as he covets and yearns for an interactive idea. This vigorous
search thrusts him into an enigmatic core of emotional existence. First
performed in the Philippines in 1994.
Moriones by Agnes Locsin
(Philippines)
Inspired by the
Moriones Festival of Marinduque, Locsin’s MORIONES was choreographed for Ballet
Philippines 2’s participation at the Recontres Festival Du Danse in La Baule,
France. It was also a study for movement for the Guardias Civil dance for
Locsin’s coming Encantada, slated to be premiered the next year. First performed
in July 1991, Manila, Philippines.
This is My Life by Alden Lugnasin
(Philippines)
This solo
contemporary dance piece highlights the independence and elegance of woman.
Songs will also feature works by BP’s Morales,
as well as a new pas de deux choreographed by former BP artistic director
Augustus Damian III. Damian’s piece will be premiered by Candice Adea and Jean
Marc Cordero, who have recently triumphed at the 2012 Helsinki International
Ballet Competition.
Songs will run from July 6-8, 2012 at the
Cultural Center of the Philippines Main Theater.
